Hi everyone,

this is the second time my Samsung 2493HM broke down. The first time a bunch of caps clearly failed. I believe I only replaced the blown caps (not all... stupid), but that did the trick.

A few days ago the monitor went out with some sparks coming out the back and tripping the fuse box in my house. I decided to open up the monitor before trying to turn it on again in fear of more parts failing.

Looking at the PSU board I see that:
- CM855, a 470uF cap, has failed (probably didn't replace this one the first time).
- RM801,...

Howdy everyone!

My name is Emiel and I'm an Industrial Design Engineering Student. I can't stand that most products now a days only last a couple of years, including the ones I own myself. My monitor just broke down and I'll be posting my questions as I try to get it up and running! Great site!
